As darkness sweeps around the globe in mid-November, 25,000 people worldwide will get up from their armchairs, slip on their red flashing armbands and pull on their running shoes to complete a 5k or 10k.

Running separately while connecting digitally across 5 continents, this global movement will light up the night as people hit the road to Run in the Dark for the Mark Pollock Trust and its charity partner Collaborative Cures to help cure paralysis in our lifetime.

Run in the Dark app will track your time and distance running or walking outside using GPS coordinates. Finish times are placed on a global leaderboard, and each participant receives a digital certificate to mark their achievement.

Sign up at www.runinthedark.org to access the race.
